Maple-Glazed Five-Spice Pork

Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp canola oil
- 5 lbs pork butt, trimmed
- Kosher salt
- 4 Tbsp Chinese five-spice powder
- 5 cloves garlic, smashed
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1½ cups maple syrup
- ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 lime, halved, plus 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- Cooked rice, scallions, red chiles and limes for serving
Instructions
- Heat oven to 275°F. Heat oil in Dutch oven on medium-high. Season pork with 2 tsp salt and 2 Tbsp five-spice powder and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes; transfer to bowl and discard all but 2 Tbsp fat.
- Return pot to medium, add garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, 6 min. Stir in maple syrup, soy sauce, vinegar, lime halves and remaining 2 Tbsp five-spice powder; bring to a simmer.
- Return pork to pot, cover, transfer to oven and cook, turning after 2 hr. (adjust oven temp to keep the liquid at a slow simmer) until meat is tender, 4 hr. Uncover, return to oven and cook until deep golden brown, 30 min.
- Remove pork from liquid, discard lime halves and skim off and discard fat. Simmer liquid until slightly thickened, 15 min. Stir in lime juice. Shred pork into chunks, discarding fat; fold into sauce. Serve with rice, scallions, chiles and lime.
